not everything, still training, just no supplements.
I find myself doing this every december.
just has become a habit
feels good to ramp up everything after a nice break
coinciding with holidays, new years, it works well for me and family

usually what happens is workouts start to suffer at about 3 weeks and then get worse real fast.
weights go lower, my weight dips. joints feel better.
then as it accelerates, workouts ramp up, and build higher then they were before

almost like 1 step back to take 2 steps forward

right on brother. I can't blame ya, and I know that feeling of coming off, it feels good in a way and then it kind of sucks.

Looking good. I know the feeling of taking off some time from everything to let yourself recharge a bit. It wasn't so much an issue when I was younger, but now that I'm closer to 40 than 30 my joints need a break. I could ramp down the weight a bit but what's the fun in that?
